Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effectiveness of a Online Training Program With a Clinical Procedure Standardized in Units of Nursing (CPSUN) (NCT NCT02965989)

NCT ID: NCT02965989

Last Updated: 2021-03-30

Results Overview

The results obtained in each arm of the study are collected month by month in both groups (Experimental and control). The data for each month are summarized for 6 months, reporting the pre-intervention result (for both groups: experimental and control). The data collected during the 3 months following the intervention are also summed during the 3 months, giving a value at the end of this time (month 9 of the study).

Measure
Online Training of a Nursing Technique
Participants receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture for 3 months (This platform aims to improve knowledge and skills), they are sent 3 homework (one per month) and are evaluated at the end of each. Online training of a nursing technique: The professionals with participant in the experimental arm receive an online training of a technique of extraction of blood culture and other arm the professionals no receive any training. They work as usual.
Not Receive Online Training
Participants don´t receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture. Do their work as usual.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: assessed monthly, month 6 and 9 reported.

Population: Number of Blood culture extracted. Any blood culture is likely to be contaminated by an inadequate technique.

The results obtained in each arm of the study are collected month by month in both groups (Experimental and control). The data for each month are summarized for 6 months, reporting the pre-intervention result (for both groups: experimental and control). The data collected during the 3 months following the intervention are also summed during the 3 months, giving a value at the end of this time (month 9 of the study).

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Online Training of a Nursing Technique Before Intervention.
n=258 Blood cultures
Participants perform the technique of blood culture extraction in a conventional way. After 6 months of monitoring of contaminated blood cultures, this group will receive online training to improve the performance of this technique. Report of month 6 (amount of the first 6 months).
Not Received Online Training Before Intervention.
n=325 Blood cultures
Participants perform the technique of blood culture extraction in a conventional way. This group will not receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture in any time during the study. Perform the technique as usual way. Report of month 6 (amount of the first 6 months).
Online Training of a Nursing Technique After Intervention.
n=168 Blood cultures
Participants receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture for 3 months (This platform aims to improve knowledge and skills), they are sent 3 homework (one per month) and are evaluated at the end of each. Online training of a nursing technique: The professionals with participant in the experimental arm receive an online training of a technique of extraction of blood culture and other arm ("Not receive online training after intervention") They will not receive any training. They work as usual. Report of month 9 (amount between the 6 to 9 months).
Not Received Online Training After Intervention.
n=158 Blood cultures
Participants don´t receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture.Do their work as usual. Report of month 9 (amount between the 6 to 9 months).
Number of Contaminated Cultures in the Control and Experimental Group Before Intervention and After the Learning Obtained With the Online Training Platform.
17 Contaminated blood cultures
15 Contaminated blood cultures
5 Contaminated blood cultures
15 Contaminated blood cultures

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 month and 9 month of study.

Population: Nurses who Work in the Internal Medicine Service of university hospital 12 de Octubre Madrid.

The improvement in the learning of the technique is measured with a test with 20 questions created ad hoc related of blood culture intervention (Blood culture collection knowledge test for nurses). The score ranges from 0 points (worst level of knowledge) to 10 points (best level of knowledge). The results can be divided into intervals: 0-2.99 very deficient; 3- 4.99 insufficient; 5-6.9 good; 7-8.9 notable; \> 9 outstanding.
